Tubefilter’s official guide to VidSummit 2025

VidSummit 2025 is upon us, and for those heading to the Irving Convention Center next week, we’ve put together an official Tubefilter guide to the event, packed full of must-see programming and a wide variety of creator-led panels.

VidSummit has been around since 2014, and was started by Derral Eves, a longtime video marketing strategy consultant who saw the need for a biz dev event dedicated exclusively to digital content creators. This is set to be VidSummit’s biggest year yet, with its largest number of attendees–4,100–and its most stacked schedule of keynotes, discussion panels, workshops, and more.

Since there are dozens of discussions and panels for attendees to choose from, we wanted to give y’all a heads up on what we consider VidSummit 2025’s must-see programming. Our selections hit everything from the big keynotes to multi-creator panels to workshops, plus case studies from creators and experts sharing their lived experience and hard-won knowledge.

Tickets for VidSummit are still available here. Folks who’ve already snagged some—we’ll catch you on the convention floor!
